community work or in her profession; African women are old or probably dead at forty. The Canadian girl’s mother, as indicated in the Survey of Ontario Farm Homes and Homemakers conducted by Dr. Abell for Home Economics Service, wants her children to have emotional security, mental health, character, training for congenial and useful employment; in the underdeveloped countries the main concern is to get food enough for survival. Dr. Abel] suggested that one of a girl‘s goals might be to meet a nice boy and be married; and she said: “Life will be a continu- ous process of adjustment. Be prepared to spend part of your adult life going back to the labor market as well as being a good wife and mother.” Life in Other Countries With a showing of movies taken with her own camera on her trip to the A.C.W.W, Conference in Australia, Miss Helen Me- Kercher, Director Home Economics Service, spoke of her experience living in other counâ€" tries during the past year. At the international conference Miss McKercher led a discussion on the distribution of food in the Freedom From Hunger crusade and she said the dis- cussion showed plainly that no country wanted a “hand out"â€"the important thing was educaâ€" tion. From the head office of A.C.W.W. in Lon~ don, the Canadian delegation had been asked to call at Japan because the Japanese women have not yet joined the International organ- izationâ€"they have just attended conferences as observers. So Miss McKercher visited Jaâ€" pan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia and Hawaii. She said: “The more you know about other countries apart from what you see in Ben use THEY .i Dena nu: VERSATILE 21 t'rturnvg EASILY FA“. 1963 the movies, the better you understand them." And she added: "I feel guilty because I Went to Japan with some animosity and 1 found them most hospitable and friendly. Because A.C.W.W. is non-sectarian, non-political and non-racial, and because it is a member of the United Nations it is able to create good rela- tions the world over." Referring to her pictures, Miss McKcrcher reminded us that Tokio with its ten million people is the largest city in the world. It builds the biggest ships and the smallest radios in the world and its newest hotel is the most modern she had ever seen. She also stayed at a real Japanese inn where the guests sat on the floor and attendants cooked their meals in their room. She visited an old Japanese shrine and spent a day at a farm. At the farm the farmer â€"not his wifeâ€"took over the entertainment of the guests, thOugh the wife did appear, wearing Western dreSs, to meet them. In this home Miss McKercher cepied this pledge from the Shinto altar: "Let us work with happiness, Let us live with bright mind, Let us speak to each other with harmony.” Then there was Hong Kong, the crowded city that never sleeps. Refugees still keep com- ing. For lack of housing, families live in sampun boats on the water and schools are held on the roof tops. Part of the land was leased from China for ninety-nine years and this time is almost up, so Hong Kong is facing this problem and also the problem of a water shortage. The rest of the film showed happier pictures of the sheep farms and countryside of Australia and New Zealand. For the banquet program, Mr. Gordon Bennett, Assistant Deputy Minister of the On- tario Department of Agriculture. showed an interesting set of pictures taken on his recent Linda Tew of Laura Rose Club, Wolerloo county, with her club exhibit, "Cotton: May Be Smart." 15
